Description	The aim is to give the student an experience of working in an industrial environment, working on a project that is intended to be a problem solving exercise in which the student tackles a research or production problem, or a set of related problems, in which the student's skills in analysing and solving the problem are tested.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Demonstrate an understanding of concepts from a range of areas including some outside engineering, and the ability to apply them effectively in engineering projects. Demonstrate an awareness of developing technologies related to materials engineering. Use fundamental knowledge to investigate new and emerging technologies. Extract data pertinent to an unfamiliar problem, and apply its solution using computer based engineering tools when appropriate. Demonstrate a wide knowledge and comprehensive understanding of design processes and methodologies and the ability to apply and adapt them in unfamiliar situations. Generate an innovative design for products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs. Demonstrate extensive knowledge and understanding of management and business practices, and their limitations, and how these may be applied appropriately. Demonstrate an awareness of the framework of relevant legal requirements governing engineering activities, including personnel, health, safety, and risk (including environmental risk) issues. Demonstrate a thorough understanding of current practice and its limitations and some appreciation of likely new developments. Demonstrate extensive knowledge and understanding of a wide range of engineering materials and components. Demonstrate an understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied (e.g. operations and management, technology, development, etc).
